Name | Introduction | | Mini Tummy Tucks | When I consult with new patients about their tummy appearance, they're usually hoping to hear that simply liposuction or even a "mini” tummy tuck, with shorter scar, will solve their problem and that a full tummy tuck will be unnecessary. Sadly, this is most frequently a false hope and a full tummy tuck (full abdominoplasty) is the only reasonable way to achieve their desired amount of improvement.
| | Full Tummy Tuck | Social pressures and clothing styles can be very unkind to those who have a lower tummy "paunch." For some, this problem is the consequence of years of recurring weight gain and loss, but for the majority of women this occurs during the normal course of one or more pregnancies and is most often unavoidable.
| | Panniculectomy | Included among the many people interested in "tummy tuck” surgery is an increasing number of patients who have undergone extreme weight loss (through bariatric surgery or otherwise) and have, in the process, acquired an abundance of hanging skin surrounding their trunk and abdomen.
| | Circumferential Abdominoplasty (Lower Body Lift) | Another variation of the standard tummy tuck is known as a circumferential abdominoplasty or "lower body lift.” This procedure is chosen when the patient's excess skin problem is not confined to the lower abdomen, but also extends across each hip area and into the lower back and buttocks.
